text: Countercurrent chromatography and related liquid-liquid separation techniques have been used on both industrial and laboratory scale to purify a wide variety of chemical substances. Separation realizations include proteins, DNA, Cannabidiol (CBD) from Cannabis Sativa antibiotics, vitamins, natural products, pharmaceuticals, metal ions, pesticides, enantiomers, polyaromatic hydrocarbons from environmental samples, active enzymes, and carbon nanotubes. Countercurrent chromatography is known for its high dynamic range of scalability: milligram to kilogram quantities purified chemical components may be obtained with this technique. It also has the advantage of accommodating chemically complex samples with undissolved particulates.
